Its 15.6" anti-glare Twisted Nematic (TN) display, driven by the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 chipset, has an HD 1366 x 768 resolution for crisp and clear content reproduction. The display also features 220 nits of brightness, a 400:1 contrast ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate, a 25 ms response time, and viewing angles of 40/40/10/30°.

Should you need more, you can install a SATA hard drive or SSD in the available 2.5" drive bay, or connect external storage devices using its two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one USB 2.0 Type-A port.

To connect to the internet, you can use its dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.ac) or the 10/100 Fast Ethernet port for a more reliable and stable wired connection. Pair additional compatible wireless peripherals and accessories using Bluetooth technology to save its USB ports for other devices. Other integrated features include a SuperMulti DVD drive, an SD card reader, a 720 webcam, 2W stereo speakers, and an integrated microphone. Included is a 45W AC adapter and a power cord.

Numeric Keypad
Budgeting and other calculations are a snap with the numeric keypad.
PC / Smartphone Integration
Access multiple devices without dividing your attention. Dell Mobile Connect pairs your iOS or Android smartphone with your laptop.
Limit Disruptions
With Dell Mobile Connect, you get the option to channel notifications from phone calls, SMS, IMs, and other apps right to your laptop. Keep your focus on a single screen and respond only when it's convenient for you.
Maintain Your Privacy
Your phone connects to your system via Dell Mobile Connect's point-to-point, secure connection so your data is not exposed via unsecure internet connections.
Heat and Cold
Even after exposure to temperatures from as low as -40°F / -40°C to up to 149°F / 65°C, the Inspiron keeps performing.
Keys and Hinges
Dell's power buttons are tested for 40,000 presses and their keyboard keys for 5 million clicks without failure. Open, closed, or twisted, the Inspiron's base and lid have been tested tens of thousands of times.
Internals
Dell tests internal connectors on components from USB to AC to batteries dozens of times to help ensure lasting performance and easy replacement.
Windows 10
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana, can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information-gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With it, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
